The service

Your home deserves the right method.

Mould, algae and years of weather take a toll on every exterior. High-pressure washing can strip paint, force water behind weatherboards and damage render. Soft washing uses low pressure and professional cleaning solutions to kill the growth and rinse it away, with no risk to the surface underneath.

Weatherboard, render, painted masonry or brick, we tailor the approach to what your home is made of. Eaves, fascia and cobwebs are part of it too, because a clean wall with grimy eaves isn’t a finished job.

What you get

  • Low-pressure soft wash, safe on every exterior
  • Treats mould, algae and weathering stains
  • Weatherboard, render, painted brick and stone
  • Eaves, fascia and cobwebs included
  • Gardens and furniture protected throughout
  • Results guaranteed or you don’t pay
Done properly

Soft washing, surface by surface

Weatherboard and cladding

High pressure forces water behind boards and strips paint. Soft washing kills the growth and rinses it off without touching the paintwork. Painted timber comes up looking freshly done, not freshly damaged.

Render and painted brick

Render is porous and holds algae in every pore, which is why rendered homes go green on the south side first. Soft washing kills the growth inside the surface instead of shaving the top off, so the clean lasts longer.

Brick, eaves, fascia and cobwebs

Bare brick can take a little more, but mortar joints can’t, so the pressure still matches the surface. Eaves, fascia, gutter faces and cobwebs are all part of a full house wash.

Selling? Wash the house first

A full exterior wash is one of the best returns you can get before photos and open homes. Tell us your photography date and we’ll work back from it.

The process on the day

Windows, gardens and outdoor furniture get protected first. We work top down, eaves to slab, and finish with a walkthrough. Not happy? We fix it before we leave.

Add windows and gutters

Plenty of clients add window cleaning or a gutter clear in the same visit. Book a few things together and we’ll see what we can do on the price.

FAQ

Good questions. Straight answers.

What’s the difference between soft washing and pressure washing?

Soft washing uses low pressure with cleaning solutions to safely remove mould, algae and stains from painted walls, weatherboard, render and brick. Pressure washing uses high pressure and suits concrete and hard surfaces. Your house gets soft washed.

Will soft washing damage paint or render?

No. It’s designed to be safe on paint, render, weatherboard, brick and stone. The low pressure means no risk to your paint, seals or the material underneath.

How much does house washing cost in Hobart?

It depends on the size of the home, what it’s clad in and how much growth there is. Most homes fall between $400 and $900. You get a fixed price after a free look.

How often should I wash my house?

Every 18 to 24 months keeps most Hobart homes fresh and stops mould establishing. Shady, damp sides may need it every 12 months.

Do I need to be home?

Not necessarily. We need access to outside taps and the areas being cleaned. Most people are home for the walkthrough at the end, but we can send photos if you’re not.
